'No Clean Shave, No Love': Indore Women's Bizarre Dating Demand Goes Viral

The age-old debate between bearded and clean-shaven looks continues to spark discussion, with no clear end in sight. While some men, and even women, lean towards beards or a bit of stubble, others strongly prefer clean-shaven faces. In a surprising twist to this ongoing debate, a group of girls from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, recently held a rally advocating for clean-shaven boyfriends. Yes, you read that right. A video of this unusual rally has gone viral, leaving internet users both amused and intrigued.

In the video, the women could be seen shouting slogans of “Beard Hatao,” “No Clean Shave, No Love” and “Beardless Boyfriend Ki Tamanaah Ab Humare Dil Mei Hai,” as they walk through the roads, attracting the crowd’s attention. They also held onto various placards with their hilarious demands, like “Beard Hatao Ya Girlfriend Bhul Jao” and “Beard Hatao, Pyaar Bachao.”

The rally sparked a range of reactions both on the streets and online, with many speculating that it could be a humorous stunt meant for a viral reel or a promotional event organized by a company. It also caught the attention of passersby and social media users alike.

A user wrote, “Please boys shouldn’t shave their beard they really look damn good with that.”

Another quipped, “The movement is taking place on a good issue.”

A user argued, “Mustache & beards harbour trillions of germs besides causing some other hurdles.”

One took a jibe at the protest and wrote, “Then: protesting for freedom Now: protesting for clean shave We have come a long way.”

A user suggested, “Shaving brand ka kuch activation hai.”

“Tell me this a parody or some social experiment. This can’t be true,” another comment read.

It’s important to note that while beards have cultural significance for many men in India, they can also be linked to skin issues like contact dermatitis or chafing. Interestingly, studies have explored the preferences surrounding facial hair. A 2016 study by the University of Queensland found that women viewed bearded men as more suitable for long-term relationships or marriage, while clean-shaven men were seen as ideal for casual dating. Another study by ZME Science revealed that women tend to perceive bearded men as more masculine and aggressive compared to their clean-shaven counterparts.
